Privacy Policy

OVERVIEW

This policy applies to personal information collected via websites owned or controlled by FC Business Intelligence Ltd and their brands (for a list of these brands, please see http://fc-bi.com/.) (collectively referred to in this policy as “we”, "us" or "our").

The aim of this policy is to explain how we use any personal information we collect, or that you provide through our websites, landing pages, emails or webforms.

We comply with the relevant data protection legislation for your region. If you are in the European Economic Area, this includes the General Data Protection Regulations and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations.

If our Privacy Policy changes in any way, we will place an updated version on this page. Regularly reviewing this page ensures that you are always aware of what personal information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances, if any, we will share it with other parties.

WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?

You do not have to give us any personal information in order to use most of our websites.

However, if you wish to subscribe to a service, download content, book a pass to our events, or request further information, we may collect the following personal information from you:

name, business phone number and business email address; and

job title, company name, company address, demographic information (such as country) and areas of professional interests.

We will also keep a record of any financial transaction you make with us but we do not directly collect, process or store your debit or credit card information. Online payments made through this website are processed securely by a third party payment provider Cvent. Please refer to paragraph 4 to understand how cvent process your payment card data.

In addition, we may automatically collect information about the website that you came from or are going to. We also collect information about the pages of our website which you visit, IP addresses, the type of browser you use and the times you access this website. Our marketing system uses this information to provide you with a smooth, efficient, and personalised experience while using our services.

PROCESSING YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We will use the personal information we collect in order to:

provide information; and updates about our products when you request it;

administer our website and provide customer services;

meet legal, regulatory and compliance requirements;

gather management information to form statistical and trend analysis;

investigate any complaints about this website;

personalise your experience of this website; and

contact you about our products and services which we think might be of interest to you (where we have the appropriate permissions to do so; please see Paragraph 5 for more information).

We may employ the services of third party service providers to help us in certain areas, such as website hosting and maintenance; and in the provision of software such as our CRM system and marketing system. In some cases the third party may receive your information. However, at all times, we will control and be responsible for the use of your information.

We may use aggregated information so we can administer and improve our website, analyse trends, gather broad demographic information and detect suspicious or fraudulent transactions.

If you provide a credit or debit card, we may also use third parties to check the validity of the sort code, account number and card number you submit in order to prevent fraud as well as to process any transaction you attempt via the website.

We use Salesforce as our Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system. Where we have the relevant permission (please see Paragraphs 3 & 5 for more information), your data will be processed by this system.

We may transfer some of your personal information to the United States of America as our marketing system and CRM providers outsource to both these jurisdictions. These countries may not have equivalent data protection legislation to the UK. However, when we transfer your personal information in this way, we will keep it securely and only use it as outlined in this Privacy & Cookies Policy. By submitting your personal information to this website, you consent to such transfers taking place.

MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS

Where you have given us the appropriate permissions either during the registration process for our events; or in the process of accessing our content through online webforms, we may from time to time contact you by email, telephone or post about our products and services (from all of our brands) that may be of interest to you.

We may offer you complimentary content and ask you for your consent to allow us to process your personal data in exchange. Under the GDPR, we rely on legitimate interests to make your consent mandatory in exchange for our content provision. If you would like more information, please get in touch at privacy@fc-bi.com.

If at any point, you would like to opt-out of receiving such marketing communications from us, please click on the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any emails you receive, or email us, stating your preferences, at privacy@fc-bi.com.
